Small Biz Health Care Roundup (11/6)

Posted by Kristin Oberlander - Here is the latest news on health reform as it relates to small businesses. Submit articles for consideration at media@NASE.org.

  • GOP Health Bill Focuses On Lower Costs (Politico) - "[House Minority Leader John] Boehner hasn’t released the full details of the bill but has said that it would make it easier to buy insurance across state lines, impose strict limits on medical malpractice lawsuits and allow individuals and small businesses to pool their resources to buy insurance as a group. That is designed to boost their purchasing power to help lower individual premiums."
  • The GDP, Small Business and Health Insurance Reform (White House Blog) - The title is pretty self-explanatory, but the article also links to a study that shows how reform will bring down business costs for entrepreneurs.
  • Congress: Stand With Small Business, Support Health Reform (Huffington Post) - OpEd piece from U.S. Public Interest Research Groups.
  • Survey: Most Small Businesses Expect 2010 Rebound (Denver Business Journal) - Half (52%) of small-business owners expect business to pick up next year. Concern about health care costs ranked as a top short-term worry.

Meet the NASE Staff Bloggers



Keith Hall
- My official title at the NASE is COO, which I think is Latin for “do what everyone tells me to do.” I’m also behind the NASE TaxTalk program, although I often feel like I’m under the NASE TaxTalk program. One of my favorite things to do is laugh, second only to making a difference.

Molly Nelson
- I help out with the NASE’s legislative advocacy, communications, and public relations. From attending hearings on the Hill to helping select the cover design for the member magazine, I’ve always got something new going on. I like practicing yoga, running through different parts of the city, and I’m an admitted etymology/grammar nerd.

Kristin Oberlander
- In public affairs, my job is to serve as a link between the association, micro-businesses and the media. When I have down time, I enjoy drinking large quantities of coffee, contemplating how I will cram one more pair of (un)needed shoes into my closet and finding creative ways to remove my dog’s hair from my clothes, car, own hair and food. My biggest pet peeve is drivers who don’t understand 4-way stops.

Maureen Petron
- I cover communications for the NASE, which means everything from the member magazine to programs like our achievement award and college scholarships (yes, I actually get to show up like Ed McMahon with a big check twice a year!). In my fantasy world, I’d be a master chef, wine snob and fast runner.

- I head up the advocacy efforts for the NASE, thus I spend most of my time on Capitol Hill educating legislators on how key issues such as health care, tax, and the lagging economy affect the self-employed. When I am not running around trying to convince policymakers to pay attention to micro-business, I spend my time singing nursery rhymes to my daughter and helping my husband with his small business.
